“I don\u2019t want to live in the old memories, which is why I tend to make new ones”<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Europe Trip of April (13th-27th) 2018 was one such tour, with some beautiful memories to save, not just in the albums, but also in our mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Europe<\/p>\n

The 15-day tour that covered 9 countries (including the Vatican) gave us a great orientation and a subtle experience of this tiny but oh-so-beautiful continent\u2019s richness and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were a group of 42, all hailing from the city of Hyderabad. Though there was a homogeneity in terms of geography, the age groups were quite heterogeneous, the youngest being 11 years old while the oldest traveller aged 77.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Europe<\/p>\n

A challenge that seemed so obvious-the time constraint-to cover so much in such little time, was overcome easily, thanks to our time-efficient tour manager Mr.Vincent Quadros. His efficient ways of time management, clarity of instructions, sharing abundant information about the places we were visiting, and tuning himself to connect with every age in the group, made the travellers as comfortable and entertaining as possible (his sense of humour could be confused with a serious fact he\u2019s sharing, beware! LOL! :P)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Europe<\/p>\n

We were also very lucky to have Mr. Bartik as our coach captain, who safely drove us from country to country, for almost 4,500 kilometres. He\u2019s quite a skilled driver, and a very patient human being, who dealt with loading the luggage every morning and unloading the luggage every night from the coach, with very little help from others. We saw him work, and we truly understood how hard of a task it was to manage the luggage of a group of 42, travelling with families for 15 days! No words of appreciation would suffice the hard work he put in, especially after long hours of driving the coach.<\/span><\/p>\n
